Lost Roses, the eagerly awaited follow-up to bestseller Lilac Girls by Martha Hall Kelly, is historical fiction at its best that truly blooms on audio. The story takes listeners from St. Petersburg to Paris under the shadow of World War I, and celebrates the unbreakable bonds of women’s friendship, especially during the darkest days of history. In a starred audio review of Lilac Girls, Booklist said “The book is particularly well suited to audio, and the three protagonists are each stunningly performed.” Lucky for listeners, they are in for a treat again…this time with four phenomenal female voices behind the mic, telling Kelly’s exquisitely-written tale. Find your way in to Lost Roses with these exclusive character clips below. Plus, don’t miss a special interview with the author.
